FIRST TIME Riding Taiwan’s FASTEST Bullet Train 🇹🇼 (Taipei to Kaohsiung)

[@tokumeig654]

Just a friendly reminder, after swiping the card at the MRT gate, you are in the no food/drink zone. Drinking milk tea at the platform can get you into trouble with a fine.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Thank you! That’s good to know 🙏🏼

[@ThorNado24]

@@ChaseandShelbs Not sure about the latest fine for violators maybe it's NT$10,000 (US$350). The restrictions are also implemented in all metro buses.

[@PintheElfKingdom]

Bro they're riding on the bullet train not MRT. That's why they sell milk tea.

[@PintheElfKingdom]

Passengers are allowed to eat and drink on the train according to Taiwan high Speed Rail.

[@tokumeig654]

@@PintheElfKingdom HSR (high speed rail) - food allowed. MRT (mass rapid transport) - food prohibited with a fine. They took both HSR and MRT in this video.

Next time you take the train or high speed rail comeback to Taipei, don't forget to try the super popular railway bento boxes in Taiwan. I would recommend the pork chop flavor 😋 they usually sell them at the station or on the train.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Ohhh haha good to know! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@eightbighillman]

34:40 is Yakult (yogurt). A Japanese milk drink very popular in Taiwan for six decades.

[@leeritenour]

They only offer the "300" in Taiwan if I could remember. I believe Chase and Shelbs will enjoy the "1000" in Japan when they get there... lol

[@csl3740]

You are doing it right! The Yakult works better when you drink with empty stomach

[@sonnymans]

Fun fact: my eldest sister was senior engineer who was part of development and construction of the bullet train. She was based in Kaohsiung is now Canadian living in Calgary. We did a few bullet train trips in Europe last month and think it's the best way to travel.

[@outdoor75]

I was also based in kaohsiung for the construction of the high speed rail and I have never left after that! Love the place! It is a hidden gem for people that love the outdoors cycling, hiking, sailing etc

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Oh wow that’s awesome. It truly is, it’s so clean, fast and efficient. We loved taking the train and the speed they go is just crazy haha! 😃😄

[@henrykung6649]

next time try the Taiwan Railroad Bento Meal Box on the HSR or any other train service, since you are allow to eat & drink on the train. except on the buses and MTR(subway). If you have time, try visit the outer islands. Enjoy rest of your trip in Taiwan!

[@laibamboo5403]

Friendly reminder: Eating and drinking are not allowed inside the MRT. Violations will result in a fine ranging from NT$1,500 to NT$7,500

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Thank you!!

[@ThorNado24]

@@Trust_but_Verify Breastfeeding rooms are available in selected MRT stations beside the restrooms. It is not allowed inside the gate.

[@PintheElfKingdom]

That's not an MRT. They're on a bullet train to Kaosiung. There's a reason to them selling drinks on the train.

[@laibamboo5403]

​@@Trust_but_VerifyYes, at 20:00 in the video, it is stated that eating and drinking are not allowed in MRT. If a baby needs to eat, it is allowed, but only milk😊 Or you can use the baby room at the MRT station. There are 41 stations have baby room. If you are in the station without baby room, you can ask for help at information center. Hope this information is helpful to you. And it’s okay to eat on the high-speed rail.

34:31 A lot of Taiwanese think the same way and drink the same thing daily. I think it is originally from Japan and spread to a lot of Asian countries like Taiwan, South Korea and most southeastern Asian countries.

[@sskyles]

THSR ticket prices are set by your destination, and are the same price between two points regardless of the number of stops. So if you are flexible with your travel plans, it's a good idea to try to pick an express train with fewer stops. The express trains with the fewest stops arrive about 40 minutes sooner than the ones that stop at all the stations. There are also several options in the middle of the range. So just be aware of that when choosing your train. If you are able to book far enough in advance, you can often find early-bird discounts of up to 35% off, but generally these discounts are only available at non-peak times.

@@ChaseandShelbs TR and THSR are Ok to drink and eat.

[@西門城]

Amazing Taiwan!!!

[@lostnoahr]

Taiwan has three main types of rail trains. The Mass Rapid Transit(MRT) prohibits eating and drinking, including water. After you pass through the ticket gate with your ICC card(QR code ticket), you enter the area where eating and drinking are prohibited. On the other hand, Taiwan High Speed Rail(THSR) and Taiwan Railways Administration(TRA) do not have such restrictions. Just a reminder, eating and drinking on the Kaohsiung Metro can result in a fine.

[@roselai723]

It’s so satisfying to see how you enjoy your meal! There’s a saying that, it’s our fault if a tourist not getting weight before they leave Taiwan! Wwwww~

Taiwan high speed rails got started into business from 2006. At that time, smart phones hadn't been invented. People just didn't need to charge their phones as now. That's the reason the cars , which were purchased before 2006, were not equipped with the charger sockets.
